1) This is from the movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Have you seen it?Yes. I was invited to annual Gentlemen Prefer Blondes yearly convention. I know your asking why. It because they have a naked Marilyn contest. Women from all over the country compete. What a night we had that time! I promised not to name names.

2) The lyrics tell us that, when love goes wrong, “a match won’t light.” When did you most recently light a match? 1997 a Strip Club. It was to let the girls know that I tip.

3) The duet is performed at a French sidewalk cafe, where Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe are (literally) sharing a cup of coffee. With whom did you most recently have coffee? Sorry. not my vice.

Bud Greg Midnight Rock & Bill

4) The tune was written by prolific composer Hoagy Carmichael. He was influenced by his mother, who earned extra money for the family playing piano during silent movies. Who in your life influenced your career choices? I’m retired except for being the GM at WTIT.

5) Jane and Marilyn shared something beyond movie stardom. They were both married to Hall of Famers. Marilyn Monroe was married to Joe DiMaggio, who was inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame in 1955. Jane was married to quarterback Bob Waterfield, inducted into the football Hall of Fame in 1965. Which sport would you rather watch: baseball or football?Football by a lot. Baseball should eliminate batters stepping out of the box. It was so much faster years ago as I grew up. As a Pats fan, we have had a decent run.

6) Jane and Bob Waterfield were high school sweethearts at Van Nuys High. The Southern California school was used as a set for the 1982 movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Tell us something about your high school. It was all boys. Glad they changed that. It was an awful two years that I won’t back.

7) Marilyn and Joe DiMaggio met on a blind date at a Hollywood restaurant called Villa Nova. Have you ever arranged a blind date? If so, did the couple hit it off and end up dating? Only to get naked. Then we stopped. Don’t fret, every woman say they never do it. I guess that makes them feel better. In my experience almost every slept with me. What are the odds?

8) In 1953, when Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was released, a tornado did severe damage to Waco, TX. Tell us about a major weather event that you endured (tornado, hurricane, flood, blizzard, heat wave, etc.). When I was still working one of my stores got hit. No damage to the store but every car in the lot had damage. We never have a tornado. But we did that day.

9) Random question: You see a filthy puddle. Floating on top are cigarette butts, a leaf, and a $1 bill. Would you bend over and rescue the dollar? Nope.

We will return. Say “HI” to The Queen of Memes. if you see her. Or even if you don’t. If I see her I will net you know. Come back, Same time. Same blog.

What do you think is the greatest television show of all time? I’ll take all of CBS’ comedy’s on Saturday nights in the 70s. MAS*H, Bob Newhart Show, All in the Family, The Mary Tyler Moore Show and the Carol Brunett Show. I’ve never seen a better lineup.

Would you rather win a Nobel Prize or an Academy Award? Give me the Oscar.

What one food would you banish from this earth if you could? Asparagus.

What’s the scariest story you’ve ever heard? The one I saw were those four cops in Minnesota.

Who is the most famous person you have ever met? William Shatner.

What’s something you’ve done that most people wouldn’t know or guess about you? I love Big Cats. I watch animal films a lot.

You’re strapped in a rocket ship about to go to the moon. Are you thrilled? Or terrified? Both I’d think. Holy shit!

What is the correct way for toilet paper to sit on the roll? Down from the top front. Ann Landers settled it by saying on printed toilet paper comes down. So that’s it.

Talk about a mistake you made, or something you regret. My third ex-wife after our first separation.

What was your first crush? The real one was my first girlfriend Debbie.

When did your parents talk to you about the birds and the bees? 10. I came home and asked what “fuck” meant. I got way more info than I probably needed. But it all worked. Other than my parents arguing over who’d talk to me.

What is your greatest achievement? My children.

Were you close to your parents growing up? I guess.

What was the most life-changing event you’ve ever experienced? My staph infection. The anti-bionics didn’t work. I was down a year or more. Finally the doc said “There’s a new one out. I haven’t used it but its the only thing left. If it doesn’t work you will need to get your affairs in order.

Have you ever had a falling out with a friend? What happened? Yes. What happened? We had a falling out.

In this space we used to publish 8 days a week. So here’s a throwback – I am writing an actual post! I miss those days. When I started “Sunday Stealing” it had originally on just on WTIT: The Blog. Then one day as I discussed this with the Queen of Memes. I asked her if I thought syndicating “Sunday Stealing” was a good idea. She knew how hard I had worked to create “Saturday 9”. In both cases she approved.

By week 2 we had 80 players!!! It was a lot of work because I invited about 200 people who answered these questions on Saturday 9 and Thursday Thunks. We also invited players from that dude “Patrick” who did at that time just a Sunday thing his site.We contacted his players for a year and invited them all. Some of the blog owners were pissed about how I was recruiting their players. We thought there was enough players for everyone. And I never admitted inviting them.

I made up two imaginary hosts. I did at that time I had a reputation as a “bad boy” on my blog. I did not want to get in the way of folks enjoying the memes. So, Samantha Winters (who still hosts, but with Gal leading her) & Judd Corizan hosted Sunday Stealing. After awhile I just changed it to me. It was SO popular I wanted (ego wise) to be credited. Judd is still on the logo we offer to put on your site. But it’s Bev that has hosted it for years now.

Speaking of memes, has anyone reached out to Cat.? A recently as last summer she was still playing all those memes & hosted a Monday one herself. She inspired me when I set up both sites. I hope all’s well with her & her family.

Why everything changed was because of social media’s new sites. Why write an entire story on your blog when you republish a cartoon image and get 100 likes. This post most likely will not be read. There will be no “likes”. (Don’t find that a plea for comments or likes. I am writing this just for perspective.) And it’s not like I have folks that could not wait for a new post. My jokes about Jill Hennessy resulted in NBC’s marketing service to contact me to help get a season 5. They got it. What was my contribution? I just ask you if you’d write NBC and get it renew it. I have no idea if we helped, but “Crossing Jordan” was renewed.

So here is today’s story. I went to bed at say 10 last night. But I woke up and it was daytime and there was a lot of sun. So I thought I had taken a nap. So for me it was 5 in the afternoon. I poured myself a small drink and turned on my TV. It took 20 minutes until I realized that it is light at 5AM. I laughed at myself and went back to sleep. When Bev says “Crazy This World” she is SO correct. I hope you and yours are healthy. We will return to this here blog. Same time. Same blog.

1. What is your favorite song lyric? Why? “A long December and there’s reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last” the opening line from the Counting Crows “A Long December” song. It is both hopeful and depressing. My second? “If the phone doesn’t ring…it’s me.” Jimmy Buffett. And a million Beatles quotes, but other than that, this it.

2. Who was the worst teacher you ever had? Both the best & worst? Miss Walsh. She was hot. Eight grade English. She was the best and taught me so much. But after cutting off our affair, I learned a lot less. High school girls while gorgeous know nothing. “Hey hon? They only call it a blowjob. Suck don’t blow…”

3. What were 3 things that scared you as a child? German Shepards, bullies & at times Miss Walsh.

4. What are 3 things that scare you now? Living alone (And while I have no issues with my ex – I would not have picked this house to live in alone. That said I love the house think I will not live alone forever.

5. Would you rather have the power of time travel or the power to see the future? The power to see the future would make you SO rich that you could by the fucking time machine.

6. Money, power, or good looks – which would you rather have an unlimited supply of? Money.

The Late Wolfman Jack

7. Are you jealous of anything? DJs with long careers. While I spent 20 years in radio, only half were as a DJ. I could have been a contender.

8. What makes you feel most loved? When a lady walks in my radio studio with knee pads on. Not subtle, but wow!!

9. Do you believe in soulmates? Nope. I believe you can have a ton of things in common. My first wife in marriage counciling said, “I am not his soulmate, it is Heather (our 14 year old daughter at the time).” Heather and I had so much in common (and still do) but soulmate with your own kid? Nope. So I guess “nope” was enough…

10. What is something that made you laugh the most? The guys at WTIT when we are writing and producing comedy.

11. What were 3 of the happiest days of your life? The night I met the French Twins Michelle & MaBelle. Coming homing home to find my neighbors 31 year-old sitting on the chair next to my apartment. I was 57 at the time. They were fighting and I think we had revenge sex. Third? The day I scored four touchdowns in a high school game.

12. What is your biggest flaw? Sounding like my ideas are the only ones. I never feel that way, but I can come off sounding that way.

13. Who would play you in a movie about your life?Brad Pitt. I mean we don’t look a like but hell. It would be sweet.

14. What is something you experienced that you have no explanation for. I think my neighbors girlfriend getting naked as soon as I opened the door. Keep in mind that she was SO beautiful.

15. What is the saddest book you ever read?The bible. A book written by crude people of 2K years ago and seeing people think those fuckers had any ideas of life beyond 33 AD.

16. What is your dream home like? I love where I’m at. More seclusion, a pool & the Twins moving in, or any lady who would like to try a threesome.

17. What creature/insect would most creep you out if you found it crawling on you? Any. I hate bugs.

18. What’s your preferred Monopoly piece? No mas.

19. What was your most embarrassing moment? Going to my high school girlfriend’s house. Sneaking in the dark. The sex was always great. But on this night it was off the charts. When we turned on the lights I was shocked it was her mother who quipped, “Sally was already sleeping, so I “pitch hit for her”.” By the time Sally and her dad heard us, so they had been watching from the kitchen. Oh what a night.

20. Could the earth be flat? And on this stupid note, I will reminder of one of my “laws of life”46. If you’re going through hell, keep going.” See more here.
I did Saturday 9 yesterday, but I never logged in. I don’t think anyone missed anything. Meanwhile, you stay health. And stay tuned. We will return. Same time. Same blog.

1) In this song, Bobby Goldsboro celebrates the “little things” that delight him, like seeing his girl smile. What are some little every day things that reliably lighten your mood? In this time, it is a good question. These days I speak with The Queen a lot. That’s usually the deal daily. We laugh a lot.

2) Bobby is a lifelong sports fan. While in high school, he came to terms with physical limitations — slender build, slow speed — that would prevent him from having a career as a professional athlete. That’s when he turned his attention to music. Given your choice, would you rather make your living in music or sports?Explain your decision. Music. I like sports – some a lot, but I love music. I became a DJ cuz I couldn’t play an instrument or sing.

3) Shortly before “Little Things” was released, Bobby toured England for two weeks, backing up Roy Orbison. They opened for The Beatles. Bobby fondly recalls spending time with Paul McCartney, teaching him how to imitate the croak of an Alabama tree frog. Are you good at imitations (human or otherwise)?Yes. I used to imitate teachers’ voices & called my mom telling her that Bud was the bottom of the gutter. She would start yelling & I just laughed.

4) Back in the States, Goldsboro (again with Orbison) opened for the Rolling Stones in New York. Which band did you listen to more recently, the Stones or the Beatles?The Beatles. I did add their virtual rendition of “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” a couple of weeks ago. Neil Young said it’s better to burn out than rust. The Stones are just rust now. The Stones would not be in my top 10 bands. And there is The Beatles and then everything else.

5) Bobby worked on projects with Burt Reynolds, doing the music for the movie Gator and the TV show Evening Shade. Burt said it was not only Bobby’s musical ability but also his wit that made him fun to work with. What qualities do you value in a coworker?Honesty.

6) These days, Bobby spends more time painting than performing music. He regularly donates his artwork to be auctioned off for charity. Have you ever tried your hand at painting? Nope but my BFF Harvey Wallbanger is terrific at it.

7) In 1964, when this song was on the radio, women spent more on styling gels and sprays than they do today. Are you having a good hair day? Or has the pandemic made dealing with your hair something of an adventure? I think I am gonna cut it myself.

8) Nationally and internationally, one of 1964’s biggest news stories was the marriage of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The bride wore a yellow dress and white and yellow flowers in her hair. The groom was decked out in a sedate dark suit with a red tie and a yellow boutonniere. What did you wear the last time you got really dressed up?For a wedding or a funeral. Final answer.

9) Random question: Imagine you’re stranded on a desert island with a complete stranger. Would you prefer your one and only companion be a man or a woman?Woman.

Hope the world is good to you. Stay well and we will be back. Same time. Same blog.

1) This song has an optimistic message about love: “It gets tough sometimes, but you can give it one more try …” Do you tend to take an optimistic look at life?It depends on how many ladies come to my annual “Get Naked with Bud’ in a hot tub 2020”. We had a great turnout last weekend.

2) In this song, Christopher Cross sings, “Time and time again I see people so unsure like me …” Tell us about a recent time when your confidence could have used a boost. I’d say my third wife leaving with a day’s notice qualifies. Although I’m not in mourning. I don’t think. But you can ask the Queen. Can’t wait to see her when this is all good.

3) The Doobie Bros.’ Michael McDonald plays on this record. Do you have a favorite Doobie Bros. song?“China Grove”

4) Though no longer making hits, Christopher Cross still has loyal fans who attend his concerts. Time permitting, he spends time after each show signing autographs. Have you ever asked a celebrity for his/her autograph? Nope. Pictures with them but I don’t do the autograph thing.

5) Christopher Cross’ dad was an Army doctor stationed at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, DC. With all the museums and monuments, our nation’s capital could be a great place for a kid to grow up … except sometimes we take the advantages of our hometown for granted. Tell us about a nearby museum, park, theater, etc., you’ll visit again when this period of crisis is over and it’s agreed that it’s safe to do so. It’s people that I miss more than activities.

6) In 1983, when “All Right” was popular, Flashdance was a hit in movie theaters and on the radio. What’s the most recent movie you watched? Most recent song you heard on the radio? I don’t listen to it. Just the 15K songs so gfar on my iPod. Right now its “I Am the Walrus”

7) Also in 1983, America West Airlines took off, flying between Las Vegas and Phoenix. They went nationwide in 2005 after they merged with US Airways. In 2013, they merged again, this time with American Airlines. Do you collect miles in an airline loyalty program? Nope. I don’t travel much.

8) Super Mario Bros. debuted in 1983. Can you name gaming’s most famous siblings? I’ve played that or any games since the 70s.

9) Random question — Under hypnosis, you discover you lived three past lives. In the first, you were wealthy beyond your wildest imaginings, thanks to a loveless marriage. In the second, you were a star on the roller derby circuit who had earned the nickname “Smasher.” In the third, you were a brilliant mathematician who worked your way through school as an exotic dancer. Which of these would you find most shocking? Alas, I like to wealth thing and I’d have a hot girl on the side…

Hope you are health and as happy as one can be now. We’ll return. Same time. Same blog.

Our Milestone

Here’s Bud

After a radio, nightclub and television career of over 25 years,we still write and perform comedy with essentially the same group of guys that we started with over 50 years ago. We began as WTIT: Tape Radio and have kept the moniker ever since. We did comedy using this "WTIT Tape Radio" station as the backdrop. it is also a journal of a group of friends done in a radio morning show format playing the music of the era. We have every recording. We interviewed our girlfriends before “The Prom” or whatever. We shared growing up, getting married and having kids on WTIT. Later it was stories of divorces, new wives or girlfriends and grandchildren.

If you’re here for a laugh, we hope you enjoy your visit. If you’re here because of a cosmic accident where all of the web except this blog has gone, then we simply apologize. To learn more about WTIT visit WTIT.net. (View my
